Fantasy Filmfest in Frankfurt

I went out yesterday to watch Kitanos 15th and newest film called “Outrage” at the Fantasy Filmfest in Frankfurt am Main.
The movie was a solid yakuza flick, sometimes it had points where it was tough to follow the characters and probably its not the best of the Kitano movies but I was still able to enjoy it.

All I can say is that if you are a fan of Takeshi Kitano and Yakuza movies go ahead and rent or buy the DVD (I’m not sure if this will get a regular cinema release in Germany).

Heres the official trailer.

Check out the filmfestivals schedule right here.
The Fantasy Filmfest will be in Frankfurt am Main until the 1st of September and will continue in Stuttgart.

They had this billboard up on the wall and people could write shoutouts or a quick opinion about the movie onto it.

I thought this one right here was quite funny.

Afterwards we went to chill out at a bar a little bit, well good luck with that on a sunday in Frankfurt.

We ended up at the McCafe and I tried out their frappes which, suprisingly, is good. I usually just go for the normal coffee or cappucino.

Seems like the whole city got ready for movies and filmmaking.

I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

… and now I’m back. It was great to just chill & relax and having weather, food and some smack about other people as nearly the only topic of conversation for a little over a week. And now I’m hungry for some new exicting stuff to happen. But let my first hit you with some random thoughts about my vacation near Málaga, Spain:

  • You can’t help but feel like kind of a big deal when you are droven to the hotel all by yourself in a 50-person coach.
  • Grand Hotel probably only means Big Hotel.
  • You can get more Louis Vuitton at the seafront than at a LV Store.
  • On the way home I’m faster than the navigation system.
  • Children are the real kings of Spain.
  • If the 1,5 hours waiting for your show was better than your actual show, well…!
  • I wouldn’t believe it, but yes, there’s one ocasion, when people in Spain are indeed quiet and even demand for it: When the matador stands in front of the bull pointing his sword towards him..
  • If there is a slight chance the police is going after you, just run and have fun with it!

First off, the pics of the view from my room (Muchas Graçias to Daniel!!!).

4932022962 b82d31938e I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

I’m already apologizing, if I should keep it up to put ‘Buti’ in front of other words, because the neighborhood of our hotel was called Butbamba and it was so much fun to me to play with it. My three favorite creations: Butimama, Butiplaya, Buticar. It was really everywhere.

4931448669 f369d521b9 I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

I also noticed some weird store names. Third place goes out to SUPER ALI. Second place is BABCHIC. And the winner is EROSKI!!! Wonder, what all the broskis are buying in that kind of supermarket.

4932039772 812038972a I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

And now my Instax pics!! Some you may expect from a summer holiday – others maybe not.

The first thing I saw at the hotel was this! These bad boy cats are everywhere right now.

4930490681 504afa9c68 I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

This was on a wall at a store right around the corner.

4930490517 f60554e84b I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

In front of the Plaza de Toros in Málaga.

I liked that, because you can insert what you want.

4931080648 722488e401 I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

There was a campfire every evening at the seafront.

4931080516 18a25f15a8 I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

This was some cool streetart in Fuengirola, the next bigger “city” or whatever.

4930491453 35a45200c8 I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

I took this in Gibraltar, while having a great sandwich!! To me it also looks a little bit like the photo is painted.

4931081598 fc4296e18b I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

I used to go for a run every other day and I always passed that backboard. But I didn’t notice it until the last time. NEW BOOM ACTION!

4931081382 987ebc0e53 I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

This right here was the reason for this vacation. I just wanted to go to the beach. I wouldn’t have cared, if that beach would have been in Greenland. Even better it was BUTIPLAYA!
There is also one pigeon on the pic, if you look closely, but there were a whole lot more!!!

4931082338 4b8e3aeaf7 I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

It doesn’t look like it on the Instax pic, but the water was very clear!!!

4931082076 14b2446eb7 I was in Málaga, Malaka!!!

I’m happy to be here again, especially after a super turbulent approach for landing!! I will have three more posts in the next few days of our trips to Marbella, Gibraltar & Málaga (including bullfight). But if you are curious enough, you can check out the pics on my flickr alreadyyy.

P.S.: Also worth noting is my bus ride from the aiport to home, where I was – again – all by myself & special shout outs to the bus driver, who dropped me off in front of my front door, on his way to the bus depot :)

Photowalk 25.08.2010 – Manga Edition

I had to do some stuff in Friedberg today nothing special but since I want to keep these photowalk blogs up and going I took a few snaps from today.

This is the train station in Friedberg, I like how it looks.

4926271331 ae13b0cf8f z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

For such a small city like Friedberg their train station has quite alot of tracks.

4926866292 d395e2156f z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

4926271223 dc1d552dbd z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

Inside the train station we decided to check out the magazine stands and browsed a bit through the manga section, yes it became quite standard/mainstream in Germany so that almost every
magazine / newspaper shop has mangas now.

4926866432 696e2ee031 z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

This one right here is like a free preview copy for you to grab, its like a taste test for the newest mangas released. I also like the dinosaur character “Gon” that some of you guys might remember
from Tekken 3 ;).

I thought this book looked interesting since its about japanese popculture a topic that I am into alot, there is alot of stuff in this book that I remember from my last few trips to Tokyo and some
who have been there might recognize alot of it too.

Tokyo Clash on Amazon.de for 14,95 Euro

Passmo or Suica card do you still have yours from your Japan trip? I still carry mine around every day lol I left it in my wallet it also still works after I have been using it every year when I am in Tokyo.

4926273687 48f76b9d41 z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

A motorcycle designed like a toilet or like a bullet train? Or the toilet designed like a bullet train? huh?

4926868644 98e8a1263d z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

Some more regular home appliances that look “extremely futuristic”.

4926868768 f074396a81 z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

Everyone who has been in Tokyo remembers the toilets and those implemented bathroom sinks on top of the toilets, always thought that was a pretty neat idea but theres no place to put some soap next to it.

4926274285 06989fcbdc z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

I think the left looks like a “Donki” or “Don Quixote/Don Quijote” its a multi level department kind of store with almost everything you need or dont need in your daily life in Tokyo, make sure to visit one of those when you are in Tokyo you will recognize them by a big sign with a blue penguin on top in a weird costume lol. Heres also a pretty cool flickr group dedicated just to “Donki”.

4926869286 2eb7953a36 z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

There are still some old style cinemas in Friedberg, with all those multiplexes dominating the cinema scene its kinda nice to see one of those still up and running.
Btw. I head that new movie by M. Night Shyamalan sucks (like his last few movies too? whats wrong thought he made good movies once)

4926869364 e250fae307 z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

I have this tradition that everytime I have to go to Friedberg I drive by the local Burger King on the way back lol this time I was joined by Stefan for some good “health food”.

Polaroid 600 with The Impossible Project PX Film

Mike (@mikemiguel69) a day one supporter of RUNFFM.COM recently bought an old Polaroid camera for only 1 Euro at a fleamarket here in Frankfurt and decided to try out the new Impossible Project PX film.

He decided to record a little vlog for RUNFFM.COM showing you how the new film works and checking if the Polaroid camera is still working.

Gauweed-TV in Japan

Hey, I decided to cut together some old and new footage from my last two Tokyo trips.
Stefan and me were thinking about documenting our Tokyo trip and call it Gauweed-TV , a “Gauweed” is someone who has incredible powers and usually is a descendant of the Alpengauweed who is a big hairy guy living on a mountain. People who have been pwned by Gauweed or the Alpengauweed himself are usually referred to as “Ignatz” or “Ignätze”.

Okay so here are the videos the first two videos are from 2009 , the audio is quite bad because the shotgun mic that I used was broken, audio is only in german.

And this one is from last April (2010) we went to Nakano Broadway. The video is also hardsubbed in english, audio is german.

Hope you enjoy it I will continue this series whenver I am in Japan with Stefan Gauweed.

VACACIONES!!!

It’s finally vacation time for me! I’m telling you, I need it so badly right now!!! Maybe you noticed that I didn’t post nearly at all, even after my tests at university were over. Part of it had to do with other obligations, part of it with me running around with no head and also of course with all the stuff that is involved with our shirts (It’s a process).

But whatever the case, I’m taking my talents to a beach in Southern Europe. It was a very hard decision and I didn’t know until this morning yadayadayada….. For real, I’m just looking forward to chill & relax at a nice place for the next few days.

VACACIONES VACACIONES!!!

But of course I won’t leave without leaving something for you. In this case it’s musicI will be listening to while chillin’ at the beach.

The Drop Top Summer Mix 2010 by DJ Steph

I’m off to the airport, but @chrishimself84 will keep you entertained of course. Take care everybody!!!

WORLD PRESS PHOTO 10 Exhibition.

Last Thursday, I came across the WORLD PRESS PHOTO 10 Exhibition at Frankfurt’s Main Railway Station and was surprised to see something like this at this location. But it makes perfectly sense. Most of the people there are in a hurry (like I am also 90% of the time there), but many people actually took the time to have a look at the photographs, as this exhibition makes you realize, that there are much more bigger problems than missing the next train or most of the other problems we have in our day-to-day life.

As you can guess, the majority of the photographs display violence, poverty, riots, dead bodies, suffering, war, cruelty, inhumanity – I guess, you get the point – but also sports is a part of the exhibition.

I was really glad, that we took the time out to walk through the exhibition. I just checked and unfortunately TODAY is the last day of the exhibition in Frankfurt and it will move on (next stops on Germany: Cologne & Stuttgart – exhibition calender), but if you want to, you can have a look at all the photographs online as well.

I will post some photos here, but it’s not for people of nervous disposition obviously.

RUNFFM looks good on your chest

This post is dedicated to some of our strongest supporters out there, everyone who bought one of our RUNFFM T-Shirts and those who actually send us a picture of them wearing it.
All of them are extremely awesome, look at what Rodney did who was here on vacation just a few weeks back.

Are you a Yankees fan? =) I guess RUNFFM.COM is cool with the Yankees now huh? haha

There are some more cool pictures at Rodneys flickr page and make sure to check out his newest online venture called JuntosWorldWide.com , its a travelsite/blog hybrid where people can share photos and videos about their recent travels around the globe. It’s a little different than the usual travel websites since you get the information right from the person travelling in a kind of refreshing and personal style, kinda like our blog where you find random information on our daily “adventures” in our local midst or on tour =).

He is also into vlogging and produces little videoclips like the one right here where he interviewed yours truly.

But Rodney is not the only one I really like this shot of Philipp too.

Wow.. what a day again for a blog this kinda starts to feel like alot of work haha but we do it for the joy of it and since we know that we have some readers who also like what we do
we keep on doing what we do.

4888301253 d97f35e030 Photowalk 13.08.10 HTC Wildfire x RUNFFM White Edition

We decided to reprint a small number of our RUNFFM T-Shirts and had to pick them up today we really needed this order asap. so we were really happy that our screenprinter
was so kind to help us out last minute. Also we took the chance to make those requested white versions of the shirt, hope you are going to like the white RUNFFM T-Shirt,
they will be launched online at the end of August!!.

Our time was so limited that we had to do some paperwork right at the screenprinters place, I mean Andi (@theballatician) was doing the work, I was just playing around with my
new HTC Wildfire haha, never had a phone with a touchscreen and never thought of getting one but this one seems decent.

We also put a few in stock at Market41 on Fressgasse 41 in Frankfurt am Main if you are here go grab them we are also planning on putting them in stock at Julies Barbershop but
because you have to wait for 30-40mins. at a local supermarket to buy a “Leberkäs Brötchen” (google that) we didnt have the time left to drop them of.
We were in such a hurry and Andi had to make it to his Basketball training but its all going to be worth it I’m sure.

We are just lucky to be able to put out some kind of product, in this case T-Shirts, to connect with our people from Frankfurt and people who are into this blogger subculture/popculture stuff.
I think it is the easiest way for us to put our name out and to give you some dope T-Shirts to represent Frankfurt plus it finances some of our expenses and its a hell lot of fun to do it aswell.

4889182782 ce20f7f4b5 Photowalk 13.08.10 HTC Wildfire x RUNFFM White Edition

All the photos have been taken with a HTC Wildfire cellphone since I forgot my Ricoh GR Digital II at home.
I think it takes decent pictures, good enough for blogposts, twitter, fb and such =).

Give me a holla if you are on twitter @chrishimself84 just hover over my name and hit follow.
peace and keep that “Swaggarona” up by grabbing a T-Shirt at the store =). The white version will be availibe online at the end of August!!
